They seek it here They seek it there That damned elusive golden share

SBT - you are correct SISU have undoubtedly put money into the club, if they hadn't we would have gone under long ago. Exactly how much is open to conjecture and would need a team of forensic accountants to identify as the various companies, inter company loans, debt write offs etc mask what...

From Les Reid Twitter feed BREAKING: Sources say #CCFC still haven't appealed to Football League against 10-point deduction. Talks ongoing.

Trust will have your wife and £5000 or just a straight £1000 and you keep her - the choice is yours!

I think its safe to say that not one single fan supports ACL or supports SISU - the fact is we all support CCFC - not CCFC holdings or CCFC limited but OUR team, CCFC - the Sky Blues. What differs is who different people think has the best interests of their club at heart. I would suggest its...

I blame Willie Stanley! ;)

Agree with this, could be done through 50% of ACL via Higgs and then as owner proves "trustworthy" the councils 50%. I also assume you mean profits after running costs of area are paid and arena is invested in for future developement and expansion. However I would also like the fans to have a...

Ok - lets all blame linnell after all ;)

Can't even blame SISU or ACL for it!

GT - the two key words in your whole post are "responsible ownership" something which in the eyes of the council we don't have at present and therefore I very much doubt they would ever entertain the idea of selling any revenue streams etc to SISU. I have no problem with the club buying extra...

I'm Brian and so is my wife

But ACL is nothing more than the leaseholder so what you are asking for is already there or am I not understanding you

So £60m in debt, in administration, in the 1st Division, just been deducted 10 points scuppering any hopes of promotion and still got David Bell for another 2 seasons - if this is God showing his love lets be thankful we haven't pissed the Big Man off or things could get bad for us!

I agree with the fundamentals but firstly our wages are unbalanced with four players earning 1/3 of the total and this needs addressing. I agree if it makes economic sense to buy into ACL then we can via the Higgs charity 50% but I disagree when some seem to believe we should simply be given the...

Actually it didn't quite work like that - had good chat with Waggott about this when he was guest speaker at the Trust last month. The identification of the players was joint, in fact I got the feeling many were identified by Waggott who showed them to Thorn and said do you want him and Thorn...

I ask you again to explain why if we have the revenues do we actually need to own the bricks and mortar? Plenty of teams don't own their stadiums - West Ham are selling their stadium and moving into a rented one, Man City don't own thiers, Forest don't own theirs etc. The importance isn't the...

Just like to point out this is my view as a fan not the Trust view ;) Murphy - 7 - not much to do first half but good saves second - distribution was awful though Christie 8 - Best game for a while but still runs into blind alleys at times, took goal well Martin - 7 - did job - unfussy player...

James - ACL's current policy is that all profits are ploughed back into the business - neither of the owners, council and charity, take any dividends from the business. The stipulation was that this would continue until the Yorkshire Bank loan was paid off - now the debt is to the Council itself...

You are correct its all paper money but we have at present two problems. 1 is a wage bill that we simply cannot afford from the money the club earns and an extra £250K F&B ETC would not bridge this gap, what would be needed is getting some or all of the high earners either off the books or onto...
